The reason why many people have PFS is down to two major physiological processes:
1) The body has formed antibodies against the finasteride-NADP+ 5α-reductase adduct, which persistently also blocks the enzymatic activity of the newly synthesized 5α-reductase either through a learned Th1 immune response to existing protein sequence or against a new polymorphism of the enzyme.
2) The Th1/Th2 ratio is elevated and may spill over to other inflammatory responses as the body tries to eliminate the presence of finasteride binding to a number of enzymes, receptors, and oxidative cofactors.
In case #1, as far as I can tell, it is a more selective immune response, and you are pretty much fucked. Live a good lifestyle and hope your body reverses the immune imprinting.
In case #2, there should be elevated serum levels of INF-y, do a blood test first before you proceed. Cut out all high-zinc foods, do not take vitamin E, D, B6 and B9 supplements. You may take Selenium, chromium, and calcium. Medicine only minocycline antibiotics, Cialis and Wellbutrin low doses, nothing else, no cypro, aspirin, nothing. Anything that agonizes PPAR-a is good, lowering PPAR-y is good. Try to get sun/UVB light, exercise/overtrain, fast, eat sushi with soy and sesame seeds, pineapple, eggs, lecithin, and high histamine fruits.
As always, I am not a medical professional. I take no responsibility for the above. Tread at your own risk.
